The countrywide sanctions are recent, up until recently they have only applied to a select few senior politicians. And their economy was nosediving long before any sanctions of any kind were in place.
As for CUBA... they had the entire eastern bloc to trade with, not to mention China, most of south east asia and the nonaligned nations. The reason their economy went down the tubes begins with an "S" and ends with an "ocialism."
I think the sanctions against Venezuela have been in place for a while now. The international bankers want to control the oil there, but there is resistance. What is happening to Venezuela is the same thing that happened to Germany after WW1.
How do you explain National Socialism? Hitler had the German economy humming for a while there. I know how he did it.

I was wondering what they were doing with it all since they don't have their own refining facilities. Crazy that they're shipping crude into Vz just for them to ship it out again.
